Awesome!

Perhaps this could end up in a place where the focus is on the cars and the technical performance, rather than human driver skill. For those of us who are more interested in engineering challenges than the celebrity driver of the day.

Current F1 is going that route where the drivers are more and more exchangeable because the tech has gotten so far and fans really don't like it and the sport is losing popularity and some would say soul.

While i would find autonomous racing exciting as well, it is not something the general public would be excited about.

Oh no it will be about programmer skill, with celebrity coders.

I could not find a video online, but some may remember the post race press conference when Eddie Irvine (driving for Jaguar) thanked the guy at the factory that wrote the launch control software for his great start.
